Thinking of heading out on the town this weekend with your friends to celebrate Bank Holiday Weekend. Before you head out check out the Easter opening times for pubs and clubs for Northern Ireland.

There's no current plans to change the "Easter Licensing laws" In Northern Ireland but 2,500 people responded to a consultation about extending opening hours in 2012 so that pubs could extend opening hours over the Easter holidays and allowing late-night opening at other times of the year.

Restrictions on selling alcohol in pubs and off-licenses across Northern Ireland run from Thursday right through to Easter Sunday. The rules which seems to surprise a lot of tourists when they come to visit the city but if ever a change was ever to be made it will have to be decided by Stormont.
